The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1517: Chapter 1517: The Execution of Wanbao Daoist

At this moment, Wanbao Daoist sensed that the power contained in the sword shadow unleashed by Jing Yan seemed several times stronger than before.

As it turned out, his feeling was accurate.

The shadow of his staff, in its twisted collision with the sword shadow, quickly began to collapse and be annihilated.

His martial arts could not withstand the Chaos Sword that Jing Yan was now wielding.

”Damn it!”

Wanbao Daoist hurriedly unleashed his Divine Power, operating the Power of Laws.

Previously, Wanbao Daoist held back so he could prepare to react at any moment to Jing Yan’s Divine Soul attack. But if he continued to hold back now, he wouldn’t be able to block Jing Yan’s sword shadow at all.

He didn’t have time to think any further.

”Boom...”

With a loud bang, Wanbao Daoist’s figure was blasted away.

Even though he tried his best, he couldn’t easily block Jing Yan’s sword shadow.

Jing Yan’s figure flickered as he chased after him, the Colorful Cloud Sword slashed out once more. The gray sword shadow infused with a colorful stream of light swept over towards Wanbao Daoist, who had just stabilized his body.

”No! This is impossible! How can you suddenly become so strong?” Wanbao Daoist shouted hoarsely.

”It’s very simple. When I first confronted you, I hadn’t truly entered the God Emperor Realm yet. Now, I am indeed a martial artist of the God Emperor Realm, so my combat power is naturally much stronger.” Jing Yan spoke with a detached tone, his face expressionless.

”What? So earlier, you weren’t of the God Emperor Realm? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Wanbao Daoist couldn’t accept Jing Yan’s answer.

Once a martial artist achieves mastery over the Basic Law Domain, the change in their aura becomes very close to that of a Divine Emperor. Outsiders can hardly differentiate them. This is why Wanbao Daoist and the others subconsciously believed Jing Yan had already entered the God Emperor Realm earlier.

However, it must be said that Wanbao Daoist, a martial artist in the God Emperor Realm, is indeed very strong. His reputation as a powerful figure second only to the Heavenly Venerate is not without reason. Even ordinary practitioners of the God Emperor Realm, such as Elder Chui Feng and Elder Chuo Yan, may not be able to match Wanbao Daoist’s combat power.

Moreover, Wanbao Daoist’s treasures are also endless. Being a Holy Alchemist, his wealth surpasses that of ordinary Divine Emperor Martial Artists. Wanbao Daoist evidently fears death greatly, as he possesses a formidable amount of treasured items that protect his life.

Upon realizing that his combat power fell short of Jing Yan’s, Wanbao Daoist sequentially produced one treasure after another to aid in resisting Jing Yan’s attack. For a moment, he managed to fight evenly with Jing Yan. Jing Yan used the Gravity Domain but was unable to inflict significant harm on Wanbao Daoist.

”This old guy really is hard to kill!” Jing Yan thought to himself.

”It seems I’ll have to use the Divine Soul Storm. Little Black, be ready!” Jing Yan communicated with Little Black through Divine Thought.

Wanbao Daoist had too many defensive treasures, all of which were exceptionally strong, some even at the level of an Acquired Supreme Treasure. Hence, if Jing Yan wanted to use the Chaos Sword to kill Wanbao Daoist, it would likely take a very long time.

Jing Yan was unwilling to linger around for so long.

”Divine Soul Storm!” With a change of heart, Jing Yan unleashed the Divine Soul Storm.

Wanbao Daoist had actually been on guard against Jing Yan’s Divine Soul attack all along. He knew very well that if his Divine Soul Body were attacked, he could lose his life in an instant, so he maintained a high level of concentration.

Although Wanbao Daoist did sense Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Storm when it was unleashed, the problem was that he didn’t have the spare power to fend off the Divine Soul Storm’s attack. Jing Yan’s Chaos Sword had already left him in dire straits. If he diverted his strength to counter the Divine Soul attack, he’d be unable to withstand the Chaos Sword’s attack.

”Ah...” Wanbao Daoist let out a horrific scream.

Amidst the scream, the defensive energy surrounding Wanbao Daoist significantly diminished, quickly shattered and dispersed by the Chaos Sword.

”Ultimate Nihility!” Jing Yan executed the Ultimate Nihility Domain.

Jing Yan’s body vanished from its spot. The next moment, he appeared near Wanbao Daoist. With the Colorful Cloud Sword in hand, Jing Yan fiercely stabbed at Wanbao Daoist.

Wanbao Daoist’s surrounding defensive glow was now sparse. After Jing Yan’s sword thrust, the last few layers of defensive glow were shattered as well.

The Colorful Cloud Sword plunged directly into Wanbao Daoist’s chest. A terrifying surge of energy flowed from the blade and into Wanbao Daoist’s body.

Wanbao Daoist did not possess the physical body like that of the Black Flood Dragon.

In a brief moment, Wanbao Daoist’s screams ceased. His body violently trembled in the air a few times, then descended swiftly from the Heavenly Dome, his life force rapidly dissipating.

”Dead?”

”Wanbao Daoist is dead?”

From afar, countless martial artists stared in disbelief at the scene.

”Saint Master Jing Yan managed to kill Wanbao Daoist entirely by his own strength, without the help of that Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix-looking Divine Beast!”

”Indeed! Clearly, Saint Master Jing Yan is the strong figure second only to the Heavenly Venerate!”

”Wanbao Divine Hall is finished! The Wanbao Divine Hall, which has dominated All Paths World for hundreds of millions of years, will vanish from this day forth.”

After the shock, these martial artists returned to their senses, whispering in amazement.

Before the grand battle between Wanbao Divine Hall and All Paths Sacred Land commenced, the majority did not favor All Paths Sacred Land nor Jing Yan as the Saint Master. Most believed Wanbao Divine Hall would achieve victory, relegating All Paths Sacred Land to a mere footnote in the history of All Paths World.

But now, even Wanbao Daoist, the Master of Wanbao Divine Hall, had been slain.

”Brother Yan, you’re really strong, so strong!” Xiao Feng flapped her wings and flew to Jing Yan’s side.

”Strong? Didn’t you say he was just an ant? Would killing an ant really be considered strong?” Jing Yan rolled his eyes.

”Huh?” Xiao Feng tilted her head.

”Though he’s an ant, he’s still a very strong ant.” Xiao Feng added.

Jing Yan shook his head and turned his gaze towards the position of the battlefield.

At the battlefield location, the slaughter was still ongoing, but nowhere near as intense as before. Now, many martial artists from Wanbao Divine Hall’s camp had lost their killer instinct. Especially those from several first-rate forces, who were clearly harboring ulterior motives—they clearly didn’t have the will to continue fighting against All Paths Sacred Land.

Jing Yan’s figure flashed to a nearby battlefield, and the Colorful Cloud Sword directly slashed a sword shadow into space. The target of this sword shadow was the Tu Yang Divine Emperor, still struggling against Elder Chui Feng.

The Tu Yang Divine Emperor had wanted to escape long ago but was entangled with Elder Chui Feng, leaving him no chance to flee. Now, sensing the extreme terror of the murderous intent locking onto him, he was scared out of his wits.

”Spare me! Saint Master Jing Yan, please spare me! If you let me live, I am willing to join All Paths Sacred Land and serve you!” Tu Yang Divine Emperor pleaded loudly for mercy.
